This is just the thing I need to start using Babs again.

Also "looks shopped" would seem to aptly apply to this.

Now, a word from our sponsor:
Do you have a headache caused by your opponents' pre-block ignore, super-protection, speed-drawing, and play abilities?  Ask your deck doctor if this Iron (Pan) supplement is right for you.  Combined with a diet of Babylonians, Iron Pan has been proven in laboratory tests to reduce the risk of losing due to common strategies such as ignore and protection.
Warning: Iron Pan may cause an unsafe drop in protection for your own cards.  You should not use Iron Pan if you use are a Thaddeus user or may become a Thaddeus user.  Do not use ignore cards in excess while Iron Pan is active, as Iron Pan may reduce the effectiveness of those cards.

Nice.

wierd how the text doesnt cover up the iron pan.

It used to.  I suggested to Rob that he move the special ability up above the pan and he agreed.

I lol'd at the end bit.

Also, I see the discard clause changed a bit. I like this version better.

Funny thing is, this card will actually make babylonian characters MORE likely to be played.  I dont think it will make a Pure bablyonian defense more popular, but having babylonina characters in your OWN defense is a good way to ensure that this card activates.  Especially since a couple babylonian cards cannot be negated.

Astrologers and Chaldeans anyone?

Nebby and Nergal anyone?

Nebby I can buy, but Nerg doesn't make much sense. What enhancements is he playing when Crimson is splashed?

I like the combination of Biblical story, spoilerification, and humor.  Keep 'em coming

I like the idea of the card, I just wonder if it will be able to be used effectively considering its clause and apparently all the new nazereth killers allowing captured arks to run free again. Personally the card feels like Confusion of Mind on steriods but with more restrictions on what you can play on offense and defense.

This card makes Nazareth a normal green site.

Yeah, protects are EVERYWHERE in the game right now.  Iron Pan (+1 Bab) shuts them all down.

It's a very complicated card. Green/Babs is a match made in heaven, so at first glance it would seem that Iron Pan goes very well with them. However, it negates a lot of your own strategy: Horses (unless on Nerg), Headquarters, Obed's Caves, Hidden Treasures, Provisions, and Bel's Banquet. While that's not a particularly long list, there are some very important cards there.

Let's keep in mind that this is just an artifact, so getting rid of it won't be that difficult.
